Being in a world where everyone's so vain and looks and low weight are crucial, he's doing very well for himself and proving a point. Karina isn't my favorite pro, but I'd be happy for J.R. to win this. I think he's got the finals locked up at least.

It bothers me less in his case, because it's not like there was any reason to expect that he'd necessarily be as good as he is, and so far, at least, nobody's so far ahead of the pack that they might as well hand over the trophy already. Plus, he just seems like a really nice guy who isn't trying to make this all about "overcoming adversity." He doesn't trade on that at all, which makes me like him even more. As you said, it doesn't take long at all to get past the injury factor, because his whole manner practically insists that you do. I heard a little snippet of an interview with Karina, who said that naturally, at first, you can't help but wonder about what he went through but after maybe five minutes, you forget about what he looks like, because he's got such a great smile and sense of humor about everything.

I'll give Nancy credit for trying hard and taking it seriously. But I didn't see a story in the dance, and it was a pretty basic waltz. And the judges are right about her lack of extension and follow-through.

Also, I still can't reconcile this Nancy Grace with the witch talking head on the news channels.

Well, she looks pretty, tonight.

I WANT TRISTAN!

Nancy does look pretty tonight, and they did a much better job of supporting her girls. Considering what happened last week, however, Len should probably have rephrased "no extra appendages flopping about."

I'm not a Nancy Grace fan or anything, but honestly, I thought she'd be a lot worse dance and personality wise than she is. She's a huge improvement in both categories over someone like Kate Gosselin.

Yeah.

OH, yeah.

It really is amazing to realize that she does have a softer side, and how much trying hard at this means to her.
